The Senate bu pissed a bill in creasing tn salary of the Gorsrnor of North Carolina from $3,000 to M,000 pr annum. Tola ii dose in spite of too fact that tae State Treasury, in eonse qaenee of the great extravagance of tha last Legislature, is now practi cally without adequate funds to meet the necessary obligations. The Legislature at its aes-ion of 18&0 appropriated $310,000 more than any previous Legislature, and now it begins the new century with a deliberate purpose, it seems, to in ercase the burdens of the tax-payer by making unnecessary expenditures of the people's money, particularly at a time when the poor children of the State so greatly need adequate and proper means whereby they can equip themselves for the great strug gles of life, by obtaining an educa tion. The Democrats can not deny that thev nledtred on every stump in the Bummer campaign that every poor boy would have full opportunity to educate himself prior to 1908 in or der to prevent his beiog disfranchis ed like the ignorant nt gro. Mow, if the outrageous extrava gance of 19') is to be repeated, and if salaries are to be increased, the farmers who voted the Democratic ticket In August will see tbat their burdens have greatly increased. There might be some reason or ex euse for an increase of the Gover nor's salary if conditions were differ ent in our State, but there are so many demands made upon the State Treasury that it will be absolutely bankrupted if they do not eall aj bait." It we had already provided an adeqaate school term, and It there was sufficient money on band to meet a'l rtqmrements there might not be cause for complaint when an effort is made to increase the salary of the Uovtrnor. Be it remembered tbat $3,000 was pa.d to Jarvis, Hcales, Fowle, Holt, and Carr. and no effort was made to increase their salary. Why should it be done now, when the Treasury is in nowise qaal to the great de. manda that are made upon ill Suppose the Fuaionists had in. oreased the salary of Gov. Rasstll when he came into tffloe in 1897, would not every Democratic paper have condemned their action? What is the reason for the increase nowf Mr. Aycock knew when he was nominated that the salary was $3 000, and if he did not t6el that he could support himself on that amount he should have dtclined the nomina tion. Be did not say anything about the salary being inadequate in the campaign even if he thought so. He pledged the people of the State, how ever, that every white boy would be educated before 1908. Will Mr. As cock contribute the! aaauionai increase to nis salary to- --li?; l a t a I ward the education of the poor boys of the Stattt This will be, in some measure, practical proof that he in tends to carry out his anti-dlection pledge. Will he do itf If the Legislature begins to In crease salaries where will it endf Will they also increase the salaries of the Supreme Court Judgetl If they can live on $2,750 a year, it would seem that the Governor, un der existing conditions, might be able to "squeeze" through on $3,000 a year at least until the poor chil dren of the State have had proper means provided for their education The increase of the Governor's i alary will also pave the way for an additional increase of Superior Court Judges from 12 to 16. It they begin with extravagant no tions about increased salaries and offices they will not know where te end, and every man who should ask and fail to receive an increase of salary will charge that they have en acted "dais legislation." Let the present Legislature now, that they have started on the rjad that leads to reckless ex ravagance, bear in mind that the Democratic Legislature of 1899 spent $310,000 more than their predecessors. They should also remember that the young criminals of the State need some consideration at their hands, and that the Asylums and euaruaoie institutions snouia, in no sense, be neglected. On the contra ry, adequate appropriations should be made to provide for their comfort and happiness. But this can not be done, without bankrupting the State, if retrench ment is not begun somewhere. It Aycock's predecessors were wil ling to "wear the gubernatorial hon ors at a salary of $3,000 per annum. he should be satisfied with that amount, at least, until he has seen to it, that the 13 year old boys are duly edacated prior to 1908. Wonder if Mr. Aycock will say in his message that he favors the con tinuance of "fraud and force" in pol itical Or, seeing the disgrace brought on the Stats on account of the red shirt methods, will he adyocatsthe repeal of the present unfair law and the enactment of one that gives fair ness to all parties. tTATTZESXttr DUCIQBXtTXZ OOX- BEL LAW. The Courier-Journal, In an editor-1 lal wrttn by Henry Wattersun himself, said of It t j "The people uuay wall stand aghast before tb. revolutionary election bill which baa. like aome dread monsUr, suddenly emerged from the fattnesa of paaalon and er ror through which the Legislature baa been thradlog tta tortuous way. "It li aafe to aay that tha annals of free government will be sjugot In Tain for anything approaching It in shameless effrontery and un concealed deformity. The recorde of reconstruction furnish nothing to compare with It. The Brownlow despotlam at 1U worat vnturtl upon nothing ao boldly, wholly baa .... . . . aa this MIn all the force bills meditated by the radicals la Congrs daring the days of reconstruction thre were discernible aome pretense or pretext, aome lingering memory of republican loatlncta ana traditions Even In the pleblecltles of Louie Napoleon there waa the outward display o' a just electoral process and purpose. 'This force bill gives the voters of Kentucky not a ray of hope. It makes no claim or show of fairness It places excluatvely in the hande of thre Irresponsible persons, to be 'named by the authors of the meas- ore Itself, the entire electoral reach lnery of the State. That is the whole of It. In one word and at one fell swoop Kentucky is to be come the subject of a triumvirate which Is to decide who shall hold office and who shall not." What Mr. Watterson said of the Infamous and unfair election law of Kentucky applies with equsl force to the election law that is now in operation in thla State. This law has operated In Ken tucky to destroy a "Republican form of government," and we had a repetition of the Infamy and odlousna&s of that law in the Au gust election whereby thousands of white men had their ballots sto len with the same abandon and sbamelessness as that practiced on the negroes. was not raised, because the negroes of that State vote with the Demo crats, in many places. But fraud and corruption were carried on to overturn the State government and deny the right of the majority to rule. The machine In Kentucky were not fighting the negro, but, with out justification or excuse, they stole the votes of their white fellow citizens Just as they did in North Carolina. But will fraud and ballot-stuffing become a permanent method of carrying elections in this State! Will the moral sense of the State rebel against suoh infamy that brings disgrace upon the State! Will the Christian people remain silent and allow infamous election laws and fraudulent methods to overthrow the will of the white people of the State as was done in many white counties last August? Are there enough just and right eous men in the State, and in the Legislature to prevent the rape of the ballot, and the denial of polit ioal rights to white men? Uan honest men defend the pres ent election law? If not the decen cy, honesty and the preservation o: the fair name of the State unite to demand the repeal of the unfair and partisan election law. the red shirt inauguration The inauguration of Gov. Aycock and his associates was like Hamlet with Hamlet left out The Bedshirta were not here with their infamous attire and equipments. They should have come in a body with their law less and blood-thirsty uniforms on They should have headed the parade and shot their guns and pistols off promiscuously every few minutes Besides in the further interest o "law ana oraer ana white suprema cy ' they should haye all gotten drank and blocked up Fayetteville street with their "fraud and force" carcasses. In as much as these are the kind of men and kind of con duet that contributed most to Mr, Aycock's election (f) they certainly should have been in evidence and in the forefront at the inauguration in to the State offices. When the history of the State for the present time comes to be written the truthful historian mnst record tne raot that the State offices have never been administered with more ability and with mors care and faith loiness lor the pnblie welfare than they have been under the adminis tration that goes out this week. comparison of the administration o .14. A ' .

Governor Russell is to be conerat ulated npon his wise and happy se lection of Justice F arches to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Stats. Judge Farches is man of high character, and as a law yer, ranks up at the top. He has ths confidence of mtn of all parties. ail judges should have. He will wear the ermmoof the highest judi cial offica in the Stats with ersdit to himself and to the State. If ths present Legislature is as ex travagant as that of 1899 ths Treas ury will be in a bankrupt condition. The indications now point to an enormous increase of taxes to meet futurs expenditures. iMATORTOWjif OX DAT 11. cWut r CaarU A. Town, of Mitn. bo w apiouud 8 B-rtcn'- wed tte lt- tt-oa'or Cnshswaa K.

Agoncillo, whom Agulnaldo order ed to Hong Kong, to direct the op erations of the Junta there, has re volted and refuses to go to Hong Kong, or give up his post in Paris to Dr. Acaplblo. The latter, Agulnaldo ordered to go to Canada from Hong Kong, to watch the United States' election. He was then ordered to replace Agoncillo. The disputants have been recalled by Agulnaldo. Dr. Acaplblo favors acquiring the In dependence of the Philippines through an arrangement with the United States. Killed With a Hat Pin. Tacoma, Wash. Last week, at Preecott, Walla Walla county, Frank Sloan in fun kissed Miss Ella Boone, whom he had blindfolded. She re sented his action, and pulling a hat pin from her hat, stabbed him in the leg. The pin was broken off in his limb and blood poisoning resulted. Next day the pain became so intense that Sloan went to the hospital at Walla Walla. An ex-ray machine failed to locate any sign of the re maining portion of the pin, and Sloan grew worse and died. Miss Boone had remarked in Sloan's presence that she had never been kissed. This innocent remark led to Sloan's death. Boat Wu Capaued and One Peogri Drowsed.

In July, lVX'. the Corporation Commission Increased the aaaess ment for taxation of the railroad proprtl-K in North Carolina, $10,- 000,000, and the property of the Western Union Telegraph Compa ny from 1750,000 to 1 1,000.000. Eight railroad companies and the Western Union Telegraph Com pa ny at once secured lnj unctions from the United Htates Circuit Court, re straining the collection of taxes up on the Increase. Again la 1900 the asms asaeament was made, and the railroad and telerraDh comnanies again obtained similar Injunctions.) These cases Involved not only 8tte county and municipal taxes, amounting for the two years to mortgaged to secure the construe nearly $175,000, but the right to tlon of first mortgage bonds; that collect such tart a for the future vears. It was nectssarv to emolov I special counsel to represent the in- terest of the State and the countUa and cities concerned.

But this has been necessary, and I the expenses, though large, have hfltm reasonable. The State's coun-1 gel are confldeiU to the final out- come of the cases. A history of this litigation will be found in the report of the North Carolina Corporation Commission for 1899, at pages 91 to 218, Inclu sive, and also in the report of the same Commission for the year 1900 In 1899 the General Assembly passed an act authorizing the North Carolina Corporation Commission to assess railroad property which had escaped taxation. Counsel was employed to appear before the Com mlfSlon and bring to its attention a large amount of rolling stock leased by the several railroads con stltuting the Seaboard Air Lint, from the Mercantile Trust and De posit Company of Baltimore. Sev eral heart n trs were had before the board which resulted in the colleo tlon of $6,173 as taxes thereon, and the placing of this property upon the taxation lists for future years The compensation paid counsel for this service is deemed reasons ble. There is merit in the contention of the railroads that they shall not be sinsrled out for taxation at their true value while the 1 bulk of the other Dronertv of the State, real and personal, is assessed largely be low its actual value. The testimony in these cases while it does not show that the railroads are assessed beyond their value and while it does not prove any general and common design among the assessors throughout the State to assess individual prop- ertv at less than its value, do-s seem to indicate that a vast amount of taxable property is assessed much below even the selling price. KUD OF MONXY AND BISOUSCIS OT BEVKNUX How to establish a system which will put on the tax books all prop ertyat about its actual value-a s v stem that shall prevent unfair discrimination and increase the revenues is a problem for the serl- I ous study of law-makers. The revenues of the State are not I sufficient to meet the demands of the time. The receipts from sob stantially all sources for lbttt were $1,545,717.69, and the disbursements were $1,600 033 30 showing a deficit for 1899 of $54,315 61. The receipts for 1900 were $1,610,003.91. The dis bursements for 1900 were L b7, 824,99, showing a deficit of $29,821,- 08 for tht year 1900. But there is included in the receipts for 1900 the proceeds of Bale of certain four per cent. State bonds, which were held by the Treasurer, who was an thorized by law to sell them to meet payments of coupons on the four per cent. debt. This amounts to about $148,000. So that the reg ular or ordinary income of the Treasury for 1900 was about $1,618, 000, less this $140,000, which makes the deficit for iuuu $z,uuu plus $140,000, which is $177,000.

The prospects of the railroad liti gatlon are such as to give reason able ground for the hope that some additional income will be derived from this source. It goes without saying that an other way to augment the revenues will be to Increase the tax rate, or to preserve the present tax rate, but increase the present assessment on property- If those methods of increasing the revenue are not suf ficient, then there is left for the General Assembly only the consid eration of making a sale of the as sets of the State,, or of borrowing money by an issue of State bonds The most valuable property of the State is its equity in the thirty thousand shares (9100 par) in the North Carolina Railroad Company.
